Dialogue

  1 1|             Those things which are perceived by the senses. Can you imagine
  2 1|    question. Are those things only perceived by the senses which are
  3 1|            by the senses which are perceived immediately? Or, may those
  4 1|           to be SENSIBLE which are perceived mediately, or not without
  5 1|          truly sensible things, or perceived by sense, there is no doubt:
  6 1|            those only which can be perceived IMMEDIATELY by sense?~HYL.
  7 1|            be a sensible thing, or perceived by the sense of seeing?~
  8 1|          mean those only which are perceived by sense; and that in truth
  9 1|       appearances, which alone are perceived by sense, entirely relates
 10 1|         ONLY WHICH ARE IMMEDIATELY PERCEIVED BY SENSE. You will farther
 11 1|            things consist in being perceived? or, is it something distinct
 12 1|          distinct from their being perceived, and that bears no relation
 13 1|            is one thing, and to be PERCEIVED is another.~PHIL. I speak
 14 1|          distinct from their being perceived?~HYL. I mean a real absolute
 15 1|           relation to, their being perceived.~PHIL. Heat therefore, if
 16 1|     respect of both. They are both perceived by sense; nay, the greater
 17 1|           of heat is more sensibly perceived; and consequently, if there
 18 1|  consequently of the greatest heat perceived by sense, since you acknowledge
 19 1|           not the heat immediately perceived?~HYL. It is.~PHIL. And the
 20 1|          they are both immediately perceived at the same time, and the
 21 1|           intense heat immediately perceived, and the pain; and, consequently,
 22 1|           intense heat immediately perceived is nothing distinct from
 23 1| distinguished: those qualities, as perceived by us, are pleasures or
 24 1|         that heat or sweetness, as perceived by us, are not in the fire
 25 1|          those qualities which are perceived by the senses), do not exist
 26 1|     sensation?~HYL. I tell you, as perceived by us, it is a particular
 27 1|             between sound as it is perceived by us, and as it is in itself;
 28 1|            is anything immediately perceived by the senses, except sensible
 29 1|         besides sensible qualities perceived by sight: but, as this point
 30 1|        object different from those perceived by the unassisted sight.
 31 1|          colours, therefore, by it perceived are more genuine and real
 32 1|        genuine and real than those perceived otherwise.~HYL. I confess
 33 1|        inconceivably small animals perceived by glasses? must we suppose
 34 1|          then are there no colours perceived. Besides, allowing there
 35 1|            colours, as immediately perceived by us, I grant cannot exist
 36 1|          both the extension by you perceived, and that perceived by the
 37 1|            you perceived, and that perceived by the mite itself, as likewise
 38 1|      itself, as likewise all those perceived by lesser animals, are each
 39 1|      principles (since the motions perceived are both really in the object)
 40 1|         are not things immediately perceived, and therefore are not sensible.
 41 1|     sensible things are only to be perceived by sense, or represented
 42 1|        extension, being originally perceived by sense, do not belong
 43 1|             It is then immediately perceived?~HYL. Right.~PHIL. Make
 44 1|        between what is immediately perceived and a sensation.~HYL. The
 45 1|          which, there is something perceived; and this I call the OBJECT.
 46 1|           and qualities only being perceived by the senses.~PHIL. I presume
 47 1|            manner wherein they are perceived.~HYL. I acknowledge it.
 48 1|          at a distance, or will be perceived when you advance farther
 49 1|          can a line so situated be perceived by sight?~HYL. It cannot.~
 50 1|           properly and immediately perceived by sight?~HYL. It should
 51 1|          was truly and immediately perceived by the mind, yet it would
 52 1|            whatever is immediately perceived is an idea: and can any
 53 1|           which is not immediately perceived. And I ask you, whether
 54 1|     whether the things immediately perceived are other than your own
 55 1|          kinds of objects:—the one perceived immediately, which are likewise
 56 1|        things or external objects, perceived by the mediation of ideas,
 57 1|         Are those external objects perceived by sense or by some other
 58 1|       other faculty?~HYL. They are perceived by sense.~PHIL. Howl Is
 59 1|            Howl Is there any thing perceived by sense which is not immediately
 60 1|           which is not immediately perceived?~HYL. Yes, Philonous, in
 61 1|        which alone are immediately perceived, to be pictures of external
 62 1|            and that these also are perceived by sense, inasmuch as they
 63 1|         invisible, is nevertheless perceived by sight; real things, in
 64 1|      themselves imperceptible, are perceived by sense.~HYL. In the very
 65 1|         ideas of sense by you then perceived; since you acknowledge you
 66 1|          instance that anything is perceived by sense which is not, immediately
 67 1|          which is not, immediately perceived. Though I grant we may,
 68 1|            when, from a frequently perceived connexion, the immediate
 69 1|         coach is not then properly perceived by sense, but suggested
 70 1|          figure which are properly perceived by that sense. In short,
 71 1|          are actually and strictly perceived by any sense, which would
 72 1|       sense, which would have been perceived in case that same sense
 73 1|   archetypes of our ideas, are not perceived by sense, but by some internal
 74 1|            Whatever we perceive is perceived immediately or mediately:
 75 1|         immediately nothing can be perceived but ideas. All material
 76 1|   themselves insensible, and to be perceived only by our ideas.~PHIL.
 77 2|        truly IN THE MIND as things perceived?~HYL. I must confess they
 78 2|          distinct from their being perceived. And pursuant to this notion
 79 2|      existence distinct from being perceived by me, THERE MUST BE SOME
 80 2|            all things are known or perceived by God, because they believe
 81 2|            sensible things must be perceived by Him.~HYL. But, so long
 82 2|         all corporeal beings to be perceived by God, yet they attribute
 83 2|          distinct from their being perceived by any mind whatever; which
 84 2|        EXIST, THEY ARE NECESSARILY PERCEIVED BY AN INFINITE MIND: THEREFORE
 85 2|        senses; and that nothing is perceived by the senses beside ideas;
 86 2|        these ideas or things by me perceived, either themselves or their
 87 2|         things, I say, immediately perceived are ideas or sensations,
 88 2|            and permanent, as those perceived by my senses—which latter
 89 2|            I say, the things by me perceived are known by the understanding,
 90 2|       allow the things immediately perceived by sense to exist nowhere
 91 2|         mind; but there is nothing perceived by sense which is not perceived
 92 2|    perceived by sense which is not perceived immediately: therefore there
 93 2|            distinct from its being perceived, can be inferred from my
 94 2|           there are certain things perceived by the mind of God, which
 95 2|           neither perceives nor is perceived.~PHIL. But what is there
 96 2|            a thing not immediately perceived; and that it were absurd
 97 2|          from perceiving and being perceived, from Spirit and idea: lastly,
 98 2|           That, or any other thing perceived by the senses.~PHIL. But
 99 3|           sensible qualities by us perceived. We should not therefore
100 3|           a thing should be really perceived by my senses, and at the
101 3|      sensible thing from its being perceived. Wood, stones, fire, water,
102 3|         have known them but that I perceived them by my senses; and things
103 3|           by my senses; and things perceived by the senses are immediately
104 3|         the senses are immediately perceived; and things immediately
105 3|             and things immediately perceived are ideas; and ideas cannot
106 3|        therefore consists in being perceived; when, therefore, they are
107 3|       therefore, they are actually perceived there can be no doubt of
108 3|           are things inactive, and perceived. And Spirits a sort of beings
109 3|            in their being actually perceived? If so; how comes it that
110 3|           he shall tell you, TO BE PERCEIVED is one thing, and TO EXIST
111 3|          but not in being actually perceived.~PHIL. And what is perceivable
112 3|       exist without being actually perceived? These are points long since
113 3|     existence, distinct from being perceived by God, and exterior to
114 3|            the will. But the ideas perceived by sense, that is, real
115 3|        must be, I presume, by some perceived difference; and I am not
116 3|      things perceiving, and things perceived; or that every unthinking
117 3|           nature of its existence, perceived by some mind; if not by
118 3|            the objects immediately perceived are ideas, is on all hands
119 3|            are objects immediately perceived no one can deny. It is therefore
120 3|           property, but as a thing perceived in that which perceives
121 3|   connected with those immediately perceived: or, concerning the ideas
122 3|      present, he imagines would be perceived in other circumstances.
123 3|      existence distinct from being perceived by a mind. So that this
124 3|           solidity, or resistance, perceived by sense, I readily grant;
125 3|          either these qualities as perceived by us, or the powers producing
126 3|          PHIL. And the appearances perceived by sense, are they not ideas?~
127 3|         should exist without being perceived by a Mind. And, if this
128 3|          other sensible qualities, perceived all manner of ways? and
129 3|         neither is the same object perceived by the microscope which
130 3|            same object which I had perceived by sight, the object of
131 3|      object of one sense not being perceived by the other senses. And,
132 3|       perceive more clearly what I perceived already with my bare eyes;
133 3|           my bare eyes; the object perceived by the glass being quite
134 3|          for real things which are perceived by the senses?~HYL. For
135 3|           Pray are not the objects perceived by the SENSES of one, likewise
136 3|      unperceived, because they are perceived by many.~HYL. I own I can
137 3|          distinction or variety is perceived, and I do not pretend to
138 3|            uniformness of what was perceived, might call it the SAME
139 3|           diversity of persons who perceived, might choose the denomination
140 3|           to wit, whether. what is perceived by different persons may
141 3|     sensible impressions, or ideas perceived by various senses: which
142 3|            distinct from its being perceived; then, indeed, I own, neither
143 3|        present, they were in truth perceived by them. This is the literal
144 3|           not all ideas, or things perceived by sense, to be denied a
145 3|            felt, heard, or any way perceived by the senses, is, on the
146 3|      qualities, and can neither be perceived by sense, nor apprehended
147 3|      existence distinct from being perceived; or that they exist out
148 3|          distinct from their being perceived. I shall never quarrel with
149 3|    subsistence distinct from being perceived by a mind: but are never
150 3|        existence consists in being perceived, then there is MATTER:—THIS
151 3|           so far forth as they are perceived. Farther, therefore, we
152 3|        that THE THINGS IMMEDIATELY PERCEIVED ARE IDEAS, WHICH EXIST ONLY
